Tidal dissipation due to the elliptical instability and turbulent viscosity in convection zones in rotating giant planets and stars
Nils B. de Vries, Adrian J. Barker, Rainer Hollerbach
Tidal dissipation in star-planet systems can occur through various mechanisms, among which is the elliptical instability. This acts on elliptically deformed equilibrium tidal flows…
Tidal dissipation in stratified and semi-convective regions of giant planets
Christina M. Pontin, Adrian J. Barker, Rainer Hollerbach
We study how stably stratified or semi-convective layers alter the tidal dissipation rates associated with the generation of internal waves in planetary interiors. We consider if t…
Wave propagation in semi-convective regions of giant planets
Christina M. Pontin, Adrian J. Barker, Rainer Hollerbach +2
Recent observations of Jupiter and Saturn suggest that heavy elements may be diluted in the gaseous envelope, providing a compositional gradient that could stabilise ordinary conve…
Kinematic dynamo in spherical Couette flow
Xing Wei, Andrew Jackson, Rainer Hollerbach
We investigate numerically kinematic dynamos driven by flow of electrically conducting fluid in the shell between two concentric differentially rotating spheres, a configuration no…
Instabilities of Shercliff and Stewartson layers in spherical Couette flow
Xing Wei, Rainer Hollerbach
We explore numerically the flow induced in a spherical shell by differentially rotating the inner and outer spheres. The fluid is also taken to be electrically conducting (in the l…
Magnetic spherical Couette flow in linear combinations of axial and dipolar fields
Xing Wei, Rainer Hollerbach
We present axisymmetric numerical calculations of the fluid flow induced in a spherical shell with inner sphere rotating and outer sphere stationary. A magnetic field is also impos…
